DELTA is a land-use model developed by David Simmonds Consultancy Ltd. of Cambridge, UK in 1995.
It aims to predict changes in accessibility according to the interrelationship between land-use model and transport model over time.
After being first applied to Edinburgh, Scotland, it is one of the representative integrated land-use models that have been used in many cities.
As shown in Figure, DELTA consists of a transport model, an economic model, an urban model, and a migration model.
The transport models are not included in Delta, but are usually linked to specialized modeling packages.
. The name DELTA was created as an acronym for these five sub-models of urban model.
